Ready To Paint Roses in Watercolour Book: Janet Whittle is one of the most popular flower painters around today & it's not hard to see why. Her work focuses on the flowers themselves, but always in context so that she falls outside the rather technical area of botanical illustration, while still providing clearly identifiable subjects. Using pre-drawn tracings that take care of the structure of the work, the Ready to Paint guides allow you to concentrate on brushwork & colour & here, by sticking to one flower type, Janet means that you can develop these skills in a simplified context. There are five projects, each of which has its own outline & a particularly detailed step-by-step demonstration & concentrates on a single colour so that you have pink, yellow, red, maigold & white blooms, all of them in simple, yet attractive, arrangements. As a way of learning flower painting, this is as good a way to start as any & positive results should encourage you to persevere. Search Press. Paperback. 48 pages.

This is a celebration of the wet-in-wet technique, & yet it's not a technical book. Jean Haines explores the creative possibilities of one of watercolour's best tricks, showing you how it can be used for abstraction as well as enhanced reality. While all of her subjects are recognisable for what they are, her paintings are also pure watercolour as she revels in the freedom that the medium allows. As well as water, which softens shapes & hues, Jean also uses colour to give depth & her control is impressive. Leading by example, she'll show you, through studies & step-by-step demonstrations, how she achieves her remarkable results. The book progresses from ways to get started, how to choose your subject & some basic techniques with washes, through more adventurous ways, including negative shapes, to the final touches that give your paintings life. This is very much a book about creativity & inspiration
- the mechanics of the technique very much take a back seat
- & one which will fill you with enthusiasm. ISBN: 9781844486748 Author: Jean Haines
